ANC still vetting candidate list

The ANC says its candidates on the national list cannot have a criminal record for offences committed after 1996 that resulted in a sentence of 12 months or more without an option of a fine.

The ANC will submit its final list of candidates to the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) after the extended ANC National Executive Committee (NEC) undertakes various consultative processes to strengthen the nature of its list.

Speaking at the ANC’s press briefing in Durban on Sunday, acting national spokesperson Dakota Legoete said only the best people will be deployed to various legislatures as well as the National Assembly.

Legoete says every second name on the list must be a woman.

Speaking at the same briefing ANC head of the presidency Zizi Kodwa said all who are on the list, must work hard for the ANC to win in the 2019 election if they want to go to parliament.
